About Kalene

Experience: 5 yrs

I am interested in both babysitting for children, as well as animals. I have been a teacher's assistant for children ages three to five, in a classroom environment. We used child-derived problem solving when conflicts arose. We did not tell the children what to do, but had them come up with their own solutions. We did not scorn emotional distress, but had children embrace it and find out why they were upset. These children came up with more creative, fun and insightful solutions that us, adults, in the classroom ever could imagine. I have also been babysitting from a young age. I have worked as receptionist, animal care-taker and vet technician assistant at Willington Veterinary Center. I have learned to master time management, paperwork completion, and learning a surplus of information about our beloved four-legged children in a short amount of time. I have always loved animals. I have always had animals. I have experience in successfully teaching dogs tricks, as well as simple training techniques. I am always the one having to stop at every dog and give them a pet, find out their name and what kind of dog they are. In both of these settings I have learned how to provide a loving environment for people's children, fun environment when appropriate, and all the while making sure everything is under control in the setting safety-wise. Caring for other people, helping them learn and grow and learning from them is a passion I have pursued and developed in my life, and I can't wait to continue!

I am happy to recommend Kalene for your childcare needs as well as her skills to help teach and tutor multiple children at once. She is reliable, responsible, patient, caring and fun! The kids love their days with her. I found her to be extremely trustworthy and even had her house sit and dog sit for us when we went away on vacations. I always recommend her to my closest friends as well, when they are in need of babysitting help. I have kept in touch and used Kalene for almost 3 years now. My daughter adores her! I originally hired Kalene to teach a kindergarten class pod during the pandemic. She coordinated the kids online classes, homework and lessons, while fully communicating with their teachers and us parents. She also did extra childcare for me after they went back to school with babysitting and pick ups. We were very lucky to find her and have her help with our children!
